"This is a risotto recipe that originated in the Venice area but should be celebrated around the world! Because of its lightness, it fits wonderfully in a spring menu. The goat's cheese is a rich finishing touch for a cold evening that can be supplemented very well by pancetta. Serve this with a fresh salad in a lemon-honey dressing and the remaining wine to round out the meal."
